      Hi Everyone,

      I wish to set up a VPS hosting solution, and use pfsense for the traffic shaping. I wish to have 3 packages, PackageA will be limited to 1Mbp/s, and Package B and C will have full access to the 100Mbp/s link.

      Can pfsense 2.0 limited all package A users to 1Mbp/s?

      And also, is there a way to stop people from "hogging" all the bandwidth?

      Here is the catch: pfsense wil be set up as a filtering bridge (i.e. WAN and LAN bridged together), as the indivudal VPSs need a public IP.

      Thanks

          "A Package" is a VPS plan. You could call it a profile.

          Sorry for the confusion.

          What I want to know, is that can I rate limit individual IPs without having to create induvudal rules for them i.e. put them into groups

          Thanks

            Yes - you set up queues (where you can setup Bandwidth limits, Priority etc.) and group the IPs into them.
